That night, the dinner in the palace on Queen's Island was the most awkward dinner in Lin Shuo's life.
There is one thing to say, the note from the father-in-law Di Hongzhe revealed at least one useful piece of information.
That's when things happen.
It must be after the dinner, otherwise Lin Shuo would not be able to persuade Lin Shuo to drink or not.
If a person is drunk, as long as he does not get to the point of alcohol intoxication, he will be fine for about six hours.
That is to say, during the period from after the dinner to three or four in the morning, something will happen against Lin Shuo.
The dinner itself, however, is relatively safe.
Of course, whether the dinner is safe or not is the father-in-law's judgment, and Lin Shuo can't fully believe it.
However, after the leader of the hunting gate and his wife Dylan went to the banquet and saw this posture in the hall, it was indeed safe.
Because there are so many people, there must be hundreds of guests.
The clothes are all well-groomed, especially the female guests, who are all dressed in open-chested and backless evening dresses, full of jewels and jewels, competing for splendor.
As soon as Lin Shuo and Di Lan entered the venue, the man was handsome and upright, the woman was beautiful, and they were the protagonists of this dinner, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
This kind of occasion is a social occasion in the European aristocratic circle. Everyone is watching. Practitioners will not do anything at this time, and their safety is guaranteed.
However, although his personal safety was guaranteed, Lin Shuo was very uncomfortable.
The dinner party in Europe is different from that in China.
Regardless of the nature of Huaxia's banquet, the theme is eating.
No matter what is to be discussed at the dinner table or what ceremony is to be held in the lobby, the table of dishes in front of the guests must at least hold the occasion.
People are also sitting in front of the dining table, and those who know what to do will look up and talk to deal with the situation, and the honest people will not have a big problem if they eat with their heads down in silence.
But the dinner party in Europe is actually a reception.
There are all kinds of wines on the Chinese dinner table, but in Europe, at such typical celebratory dinner parties, basically one kind of wine is drunk, that is champagne.
This is actually white sugar wine after adding sugar and fermenting again, which contains gas.
After Lin Shuo arrived at the reception, he first ordered a glass from the attendant. He could tell by smelling the wine here that there was nothing wrong with it, but it was difficult to get himself drunk.
The alcohol content is not very high, within 15 degrees.
The key is that people can't get enough to eat.
There is a table at the reception, but it is shared by everyone, and the food on it is just for show.
If you are really hungry, you can go and have a few bites. If you sit down and eat Hesai, you will be laughed at.
Besides, as soon as Lin Shuo came to this occasion tonight, he was said to be the protagonist, but in fact he was just a decoration for Dylan.
There is no chance for the task of displaying and displaying.
There were crowds of people in the venue, chatting in groups of three or four, all of whom were Dylan's noble relatives.
If you pour out a glass of wine, you can spill the two dukes and the three earls. Dylan has to take Lin Shuo around to introduce to people, this is my husband.
What is the daughter-in-law talking about specifically? The language in northern Europe and English are both Germanic, but the pronunciation is different, Lin Shuo can't understand.
He just smiled and nodded.
Change a group of people, continue to smile, then nod, and so on.
Lin Shuo had been in the sky all day, and Lin Shuo didn't eat much, so he was really hungry right now.
I was led away with an empty stomach, and the only thing I could get into my mouth was champagne.
Not only was he not used to drinking this wine, but it also had bubbles in it, and he would hiccup from time to time.
It must be uncomfortable, but this is my daughter-in-law's natal family, so I have to endure it no matter how uncomfortable it is.
Being led by his daughter-in-law, it took more than half an hour to recognize the heads of this circle.
Lin Shuo thought that it was all right now, at least he could go to the dining table for a few bites.
Lin Shuo was about to secretly tell his daughter-in-law that she should lead him there, when he heard three crisp sounds of "Ding Ding Ding".
This is the sound of a silver spoon hitting a champagne glass, crisp and sweet.
The effect is the same as the Xingmu in the hands of domestic storytellers. When you drop it, let everyone gather their ears and focus on this person.
The current meeting place is a living room in a palace with a two-story structure.
The first floor is a magnificent lobby with gorgeous decoration and large area.
There is a staircase in the middle of the lobby, which is covered with a wool carpet with red background and gold pattern, the steps are very wide, and the handrails are carved and hollowed out ivory.
When the stairs come to the middle, there is a platform, and then it is divided into two on the left and right sides, leading to the east and west sides of the second floor respectively.
At this moment, the Nordic Queen came down from the second floor and stood on this platform, holding a champagne glass and a silver spoon in her hand.
Lin Shuo saw that the mother-in-law was standing there about to talk, so she could only temporarily give up the idea of running over to eat and looked up.
The Nordic queen's name is Mary, and her blood is from England. There are two queens named Mary in her ancestors, Mary I and Mary II, so she is Mary III.
Queen Mary III met her senior Di Hongzhe when she was studying in England at the age of eighteen, and the two fell in love.
At that time, Mary was only the fourth heir to the Nordic royal family, so she had little chance.
As a result, those who ranked higher died young one after another. She became the first heir to the throne at the age of thirty and ascended the throne the year before last.
The queen is forty-five years old this year and has been well maintained.
When Lin Shuo met her for the first time last year, he felt that his mother-in-law looked only in her thirties, graceful and luxurious.
When standing with Di Lan, some people believe that they are sisters, but most mothers and daughters don't believe it.
At the airport today, the queen was wearing a veil, so Lin Shuo didn't take a good look at her, and felt that the mother-in-law was a little stooped.
It is estimated that the airport was too cold, it was frozen out, and people couldn't straighten up.
Looking up now, ouch, my mother-in-law is getting old.
I haven't seen you for a year, why do you look ten years older
Her hair was gray, the creases on her face and neck appeared, and her makeup couldn't conceal her old age.
No wonder Dylan cried in the car.
Di Lan was naturally sad to see his mother's body and appearance suddenly changed like this.
But now Lin Shuo, after being surprised for a short time, felt raging anger in his heart.
If it's just state affairs, it won't be like this.
In just one year, who tortured my mother-in-law like this
The leader of the hunting gate narrowed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and suppressed the anger in his heart.
In this scene, there is no reason to get angry.
On the stairs the queen looked very happy, although she was showing her age, and was talking loudly.
Of course Lin Shuo couldn't understand what she said, but he could make a good guess.
Because following the queen's words, all the guests present looked at him and applauded.
It seems that the mother-in-law is grandly introducing her son-in-law to the guests.
Lin Shuo quickly adjusted his facial expression, changed his smile, and kept nodding around.
He knew in his heart that even if the princess and the queen spread their tongues like lotus flowers and exaggerated themselves, the effect would be just that.
His identity as the head of the hunting gate cannot be made public.
And even if it was made public, these aristocratic relatives of Di Lan were not members of the practice circle, and they didn't know the weight of their status.
So in the hearts of these aristocratic relatives, he is also a lucky bumpkin.
The current applause is not for himself, but for the queen.
Lin Shuo scanned the crowd, and he could still find a few pairs of hostile eyes.
This kind of hostile gaze does not mean murderous intent.
This is jealousy, because he married the most dazzling pearl in the entire European aristocratic circle, Princess Adilina.
Lin Shuo didn't care about these things, and thought that after the queen's introduction, he could go to the dining table to have a few bites.
This is the most real.
As a result, the queen spoke back and forth for five minutes, and finally waited for the mother-in-law to finish speaking, and a band entered the venue.
Lin Shuo watched helplessly as the dining table was removed, and then the music started.
All the people in the venue moved to the side, and the center was left empty, which became a dance floor.
Everyone in Lin Shuo was dumbfounded.
It was agreed that it was a dinner party. Lin Shuo thought it was a dinner party, but it turned out to be a reception plus a dance party. It had nothing to do with dinner.
The head of the hunting gate nodded after waking up, and said to his wife, "I understand, how are they going to deal with me?"
"Huh?" Dylan didn't understand, and glanced at her husband.
Lin Shuo shook his head and sighed, "They want to starve me to death."
It was only then that Dylan realized that he couldn't help laughing.
The Nordic princess looked at the surrounding situation, and whispered: "You and I go up and dance together, and deal with the situation, and then we will sneak away, and I will take you to the kitchen to find something to eat."
"That's great." Lin Shuo suddenly felt that he was saved.
"Oh, that's right." Dylan asked, "Can you waltz?"
"No." Lin Shuo blinked.
"Then what can you dance?" Dylan asked.
"Nothing." Lin Shuo shook his head confidently, "Yangge can twist a few times."
Di Lan rolled her eyes, she was both angry and funny, but after all, she loved her husband, knowing that he was hungry, she simply stomped her feet: "Then you will come up with me to twist Duan Yangko."
"It's really twisting." Lin Shuo smiled, "Don't worry, I'll just watch them dance a section."
…
This is really not Lin Shuo's bragging, but he knows all body movements, whether it's boxing or footwork, from a young age.
Otherwise, he would be a genius of Xiuli.
Of course, if you want to thoroughly understand a set of punches in actual combat, it still takes time to ponder over it slowly.
But ballroom dancing is not a meeting between life and death, just a few gestures, accompanied by music beats, and Dylan is also leading it, which is nothing to Lin Shuo at all.
After watching the first dance by others, Lin Shuo and Di Lan came on stage generously.
As soon as the couple came on stage, they were the protagonists tonight after all, so the others simply stopped dancing and gave up the entire dance floor.
It seems that there is also a tacit understanding. It depends on whether Lin Shuo, the son-in-law of the royal family, has seen the world before.
I saw him smirking and nodding before, let's see his skills now.
The opening dance is a waltz, which is slow three.
This kind of dance is gentle and not difficult, Lin Shuo and Di Lan danced easily.
But although the dance was very common, it was the first time that Dylan danced with her husband in front of her natal relatives on such an occasion.
Lin Shuo also danced very well, the two seemed to have a natural understanding.
Dylan enjoyed this feeling very much, and at the same time, she was showing her face in front of relatives with her husband, so after a dance, she was still unsatisfied, and asked a little shyly:
"Are you really hungry?"
Lin Shuo's stomach was empty at the moment, but his mind was not empty. Seeing his daughter-in-law's expression, it was natural not to interrupt her interest, so he said, "I suddenly feel that dancing is very interesting, why don't we dance a few more."
"Yeah." Dylan was delighted.
So that night, Lin Shuo danced while learning, and drank a few glasses of wine while watching others dance. This night was very fulfilling.
He and Di Lan are a pair of lovers, turning around on the dance floor, the atmosphere of the scene became lively.
The man is handsome and handsome, and the woman is extraordinarily elegant. This appearance, sense of music, and figure are really pleasing to the eye.
Lin Shuo learned a lot of ballroom dancing this night, such as waltz, Viennese waltz, tango, foxtrot, rumba, and cha-cha.
Di Lan was very happy. Ever since she married Lin Shuo, this night was the happiest.
Seeing his daughter-in-law happy, Lin Shuo was also happy. Before he knew it, he drank a lot of champagne.
There is no food in the stomach, this is drinking on an empty stomach, and I am drunk faster than usual.
So when the dinner was over, Lin Shuo was already a little staggering.
Walking is like stepping on cotton, swaying at three steps, it seems that the dance has not been addicted.
The man just shook out of the palace and got into the car.
The car drove to the place where the princess and his wife stayed, that is, the China Palace. It was only five minutes away, and the car was no longer available.
Lin Shuo vomited all over the car, but didn't vomit anything seriously, it was all wine.
When they got off the car at Di'er, Lin Shuo was standing beside the car, not only shaking, but also walking backwards.
Judging from this rhythm, it still means waltz.
Dylan wanted to go up to help him, but he pushed him away.
"I'm not drunk! I can walk!"
The leader of the hunting gate has a loud voice, and his tongue is not small.
And at this moment, it was exactly twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.
The seven long-awaited assassins made their move.
…
